As the title conveys, I’m unsure of the correct course of action. My trailing arms bushings are cracked and there is an intermittent clunk when going over bumps (sway bar links already replaced).
The truck has 247k miles and is 21-years old. Here’s the question - is it generally better to swap the bushings or get aftermarket replacements?
They sells replacement bushing kits but I don’t know how difficult it’ll be to knock out the old ones.

I don’t have a shop press or ball joint kit.
Alternatively, is it advised to just replace the whole set to avoid the hassle of pressing out the old bushings?
